She gave me a prescription for contact lenses but if they do not help or can not be worn I will be put forward for 'Corneal cross-linkage'

Any one ever have this done??

Hi Kwacker,

It sounds like you have been diagnosed with keratoconus which is a progressive condition.

You can find a thread on this which discusses contact lenses, corneal cross linkage and other relevant subjects HERE

Hopefully you will find the information you are looking for
